looking for information about Jooyi (former member of RaNia)

Okay, clickbait, I know. But bear with me here. Also, throwaway account 🙃 tl;dr: need help with dealing with my partner and their parasocial attachment to Woozi (and Hoshi) in light of their upcoming enlistment —————————— My partner introduced me to Seventeen when we started dating. I’ve heard about them before, but I listen to a lot ot things and lowkey listen to kpop. I’m also an ELF and ARMY, but I haven’t done as much as compared to being a Carat — we’ve gone to a concert together, bought merch for ourselves and each other, watched GoSe, discussed music videos and performances in depth, shared memes, etc etc. I appreciate everyone — my bias is Wonwoo and Dino is my bias wrecker, but they stan Woozi and Hoshi HAAAAAARD. They say they’re not parasocial to the point of that they ship themselves to Woozi, and that seems to be true, but any news about HxW affects them so much to the point that some of our close friends ask me if I’m okay with it. For the record, I am not…which is why I’m posting here, if I was honest. My partner’s birthday was in February, and the video greetings for Carats in Weverse had Woozi and came out while we were on a date, but somehow they were happier and more excited for the greeting instead of being mentally present for the day I prepared for. I’ve never been their wallpaper, social media post, nothing, but their posts and wallpapers are very often Woozi/Howoo-related things. Even their best friend mentioned that I was very similar to Woozi (small but muscular fairy build, intelligent, nonchalant, authoritative, and usually refuses skinships unless it’s with safe people) which I’ve actually also mentioned before…And they were like naaah. So their best friend and I looked at each other in a sort of “fam u blind or smth?” 🙃 It’s been so bad for a while now that while I appreciate Hoshi’s passion for movement and choreography, and Woozi’s music production skills and vocal range, they both annoy me. Hoshi in a “why do you have too much energy, you are too much for me” way, Woozi in a “why can’t I be more like you and maybe my partner will be proud enough that she’ll also flex me” way. I don’t think they realize that it’s making me feel that I have to measure up to this talented, attractive, gifted guy to feel like I am worth their attention. Like I have to be as skilled as a kpop idol for people to know that she actually has a partner. I think one of the worst days was today, when I was bracing myself for potentially life-changing medical news in the worst way. Thankfully things turned out much, much better than everyone expected, and no one saw that coming. But for the rest of the day, there’s just posts about HxW enlisting soon and she seems really sad about that, but only the bare minimum about comforting and reassuring me even in private (because honestly, the relief really hasn’t sank in yet and I’ve shared that with them). I understand that a lot of these are my insecurities coming out, but I’ve told this to them and they basically just interpret it as “Seventeen/Woozi/HxW makes me happy, and when you say that, it feels like I’m not allowed to enjoy them to make me happy”, when my point is “I also enjoy them, but if you can post about HxW often, then maybe you can post about having a partner sometimes as well?” So eventually we just drop the conversation because we’re both frustrated. 😔 But anyway, if your partner’s ult biases were enlisting soon, how can I best comfort my partner? I know of an HxW fan event in a few hours so I was thinking of dropping by soon to get her fan merch, maybe a Ppyopuli plush which she mentioned would be nice, or perhaps other ideas? Because I know that while I currently I do not have the psychological and emotional bandwidth to deal with their parasocial relationship/s, I also know that any news related to HxW’s enlistment makes them very sad and seemingly depressed. I already had to deal with them being extra sad when she missed the HxW fancons as we currently cannot afford to fly overseas to attend, this despite everything else in their life going okay. So I was hoping to find a way to comfort them while respecting my boundaries at the same time — if that’s even possible. submitted by /u/nurung-uji [link] [comments]

I'm aware there are many newer groups out there with similar situations. I'm using H2H as an example because I just came across a video that said the group only has one member who graduated high school out of eight. Carmen, the Indonesian member, is the only one. Then you have Stella, who dropped out of high school, and the remaining six all dropped out of middle school. That's six out of eight who didn't even finish middle school. Like what? Being an idol may last seven to ten years at best (assuming they are successful), which is only a small fraction of one’s entire life. Sacrificing nearly a decade of youth without receiving compulsory education or basic schooling just for that brief burst of fame feels so problematic. Without fundamental knowledge, formative school experiences, and the social and historical awareness gained during those years, you're at risk of missing out on the very foundation that shapes a well-rounded person. Without minimal education, it WILL cause serious issues later in adult life. I used to think all idols should graduate high school. I don't even expect that anymore. At the very least, completing middle school should be essential, since it not only covers academics but also teaches how to build relationships among peers, interact socially, and develop crucial common sense. I know that being an idol relies heavily on things like looks, talent, and charisma, but even all of those things can be overshadowed by a single careless remark or uninformed action that can cause irreparable damages to your image and career, things proper education helps prevent. I’ve seen people online dismiss this issue with comments like, “Who cares? They’re going to make more money than the average person ever will,” or “Jealous fans are just pretending to care.” But if you’re truly a fan, this is exactly the kind of thing you should be concerned about for your favorite artist. And let’s be realistic here. Most groups don’t end up wildly successful. The ones you see making headlines are only the lucky select few. What about all the trainees and idols who sacrifice their entire youth chasing this dream, only to end up in their mid-twenties with no savings and no education or skills to fall back on in Korea’s hyper-competitive society? Who's gonna take responsibility for them? The labels? Hell no. The labels and parents who enable this are mostly at fault here, but fans who accept this as the “norm” aren’t helping either. I just hope it doesn’t get to the point where people become so desensitized that no one cares anymore. Wait, now that I think about it, I think it already has... submitted by /u/Organic-Cranberry955 [link] [comments]

I know a lot of people stay away from fandoms, or even the online K-pop scene in general, because of how toxic it can get. Honestly, that kinda sucks for me, because I actually enjoy talking to people who share the same interests. And since concerts from groups I really like only happen maybe once a year here, online spaces are the only way I can talk with other K-pop fans. So yeah, how do you guys avoid the toxic side? submitted by /u/Striking-Meal-5257 [link] [comments]

im scrolling twitter and i see pics and videos of jungkook just now at the recent calvin klein nyfw show. he looks good as usual, but besides the point. and i notice all the screaming fans that were waiting for him to arrive. now, im used to seeing this whenever i watch these idol fashion show clips but this time it really got me thinking. how do fans know exactly where these fashion shows are/ where these idols will appear?? i was curious and tried to search on google and twitter to find where the ck fashion show was and i found nothing. after intensive digging i found the location but it was only after the show has already finished. and it wasn't somewhere obvious like the ck hq or something. are these so called fans (*ahem* stalkers) paying the paps to give them the info? but in the case of Jungkook, there were SO many fans there, they couldn’t possibly ALL have bribed paps or official sources for the info, right?? Genuinely how do they find this information, esp since he was apparently announced to be at the show literally like a day or two ago. i know im jobless, but im not THIS jobless. submitted by /u/Spirited_Account_252 [link] [comments]

I already knew it wasn't gonna be everyone's cup of tea because other than the title track, it's not what you think of when you hear the word "Kpop." All of it is such a 180 from what she's been doing for most of her life, and it makes me so happy that she did her own thing and nailed it 💯 I'm a sucker for this alternative indie style music, whether we talk Korean, Japanese, English, or any other language. Every song was so dreamy and chill. My favorite was RIBBON cuz I loved the instrumental and how its flow shifts from the rest of the album, and Sumin's feature was also a total chef's kiss. Closing the album with a song like My Guitar was actually a great choice imo and was giving heavy Meaningful Stone vibes. Also, more than anything, what makes it truly amazing overall is that it's ALL HER. Seeing her go this creative, I just know even when she leaves JYPE in the future, Twice becomes inactive, or maybe she decides not to be an idol anymore eventually, she'll do just fine as a decent indie artist if she wants to continue making music. Never thought I'd be saying this, but Lil Fantasy might be my favorite Twice solo just because I don't consider it Kpop. Which one's my favorite within the Kpop genre is another discussion LOL Hope everyone who's into this type of music can appreciate this album, and I wish her the best 🫶 submitted by /u/beelzebub2099 [link] [comments]

It’s funny how different the K-pop scene was in Korea compared to my country when I visited. Hearing K-pop music was way more common, back home, I usually only hear the really huge hits like “APT.” And you’d see idol faces everywhere in ads. But the thing that made me envy Korean fans? How ridiculously accessible K-pop is over there. I saw Aespa, Hearts2Hearts, ILLIT, NMIXX, and IVE. How many of those groups have I seen in my own country, you ask? None. submitted by /u/Striking-Meal-5257 [link] [comments]

┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Hey everyone, today, Twice member Chaeyoung debuts with her first solo album, one that she helped co-write and co-produce. I’m curious to see what her solo album will sound like and how different it will be from the rest of the solo albums from Twice we've got. I have a feeling that Chaeyoung will deliver something that will be different and fitting for her style. Now, let’s jump into the record and see what the singer has to bring to the table with her first studio album. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/0e0kmiwd1sof1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=31d5916ef555df8fb4e4ca129f9189183e589c7e LIL FANTASY vol.1 - Chaeyoung AVOCADO (feat. Gliiico) The opening song on the album is a collaboration with a three-member band from Tokyo. The track has this indie-pop vibe that works well with the vocals from Chae. The guitar and percussion help craft this indie vibe that I find perfect for Chae. Chae goes for this soft vocal delivery that fits the laidback vibe that the instrumental brings to the table. I love the relaxing feeling this song provides as it opens up the album in an interesting way, getting me curious to see what’s next. Chae puts on a chill performance that blends wonderfully with the overall vibe the producers crafted. https://preview.redd.it/dbo4iski1sof1.jpg?width=3045&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eadc910578477e45683c1035945100586f44c3e8 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ BAND-AID The second song on the album comes in with an Indie-R&B vibe with the slick guitar that fits her whisper like singing. I love the smooth nature this tune delivers as it’s been pulling me back for more since I heard it this morning. The instrumental has a bit of a funky vibe to it, which fits the singer’s performance. The hook has been growing on me with each listen that I’ve given this tune. BAND-AID still keeps that chill vibe from the opening song, but I’m still enjoying the momentum this tune has. https://preview.redd.it/txuorsgm1sof1.jpg?width=194&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca0a4b634047686be084a6437148e7814f08f26b ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ SHOOT (Firecracker) The title track for this album picks up the tempo, going for a funky-pop vibe this time around. I loved the way Chae fitted with the instrumental from the piano to the guitar to even the synths that craft the funky vibe. The funky-pop vibe or even disco sound still keeps that chill nature in a bit of an upbeat way. The hook is something that will be stuck in your head since the melody is a catchy one. I’ve definitely had this one stuck in my head since the first time I heard it. I’m glad they picked this one as the title track cause it’s the most title track worthy song on the whole album. https://preview.redd.it/ilop3fiq1sof1.jpg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2175146df52fc9d94f12a954d005cd4a755343a3 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 4. Girl Girl is the fourth song on the album, bringing in a thumping vibe with the guitar and percussion. The chill vocals from Chae fit in a smooth direction as she glides across the instrumental. We still get a relaxing nature with a bit of an upbeat tempo. Chae’s performance is smooth, blending perfectly with the melody the producers crafted. It did take me a couple of listens for this tune to grow on me, cause I needed more time with it. The more I hear this tune, the more I fall in love with the vibe and the thumping nature it delivers. https://preview.redd.it/kr42zxfu1sof1.jpg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bbd0a24c32fc2aea689515d9b24f94f3c23ce35b ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ RIBBON (feat. SUMIN & Jibin) Chae teams up with Sumin and Jibin for the fifth song on the album, which might be the weirdest track on the project. The instrumental sounds a little bit cluttered, but I still think it works with the performances. Chae’s voice blends with the thumping bass and percussion that move the song forward. The vocals from Sumin have lots of vocal effects on them, making her sound like a robot at times. I do like the way Sumin adds her vibe to the mix, blending with the vibe Chae brings to the table. I find this collaboration to be a weird one, but one that adds to the album and one I’ll be listening to a lot. https://preview.redd.it/ipk6vf4y1sof1.jpg?width=1200&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d235c2f591161941039bc19c34a80c3ca728acc2 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ DOWNPOUR The first short song on the album, coming in at 1:49 seconds, sees Chae teaming up with KAI. One thing I noticed is that Chae’s vocal performance reminds me of the artist Yaeji, whose music I like a couple of tunes. The instrumental has a slick vibe to it, feeling like something Yaeji could put on her album. Even though this track is short and feels like it comes and goes, it still works. I wasn’t overly impressed with the tune during my first listen, but the more I hear it, the more it’s starting to click with me. https://preview.redd.it/0bsz0ba22sof1.jpg?width=2560&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=190447e75c6ab5ed9b00a2b9149458b771d78ffb ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 7. BF BF is the second shortest song on the album, coming in at 1:32 seconds. The track goes for this drum machine indie-pop vibe that sounds like someone made it in their bedroom. The smooth vocals from Chae are smooth as she fits with the vibe. I also find that BF sounds like a demo version of a track that she didn’t finish, but it still fits with the vibe of the album that the singer delivered. https://preview.redd.it/alb7n4362sof1.jpg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b6f67f2fef5b2b6cf410656f898d171d8a481d9 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 그림자놀이 Synths and music box effect come into the mix, blending with the vocals from the singer that work with the thumping vibe. The vocals sound like they go in and out to create this vocal effect. I find the instrumental second with the drum and bass effect interesting. I feel like this tune is more instrumental than singing, but that’s not something I’m upset about because it still works for the singer. https://preview.redd.it/x1lw403a2sof1.jpg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5150a6034af4eaf1a4158e14a89c6a551d2e0216 ━━━━━━━━☓ ━━━━━━━ 9. 내 기타 The closing song on the album is going to be my bedtime track, as it has a chill vibe that fits the singer and closes out the album perfectly. I love the acoustic nature of this tune as Chae makes this track sound like a lullaby. I’ve been listening to this tune like crazy cause it works wonderfully as a closer and one that might be my overall favorite on the record. I’m glad she picked this tune as the closer. https://preview.redd.it/8xchgquc2sof1.jpg?width=700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=61dc25dc24a380ef182d8109c3c4721442bb8f13 ┏━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┓ Summary: Chaeyoung released her first solo album, which goes in an indie/experimental direction. I find that Chae had a vision for her album, and she executed it perfectly. I still think this album will grow on me the more I hear it, cause it’s the most different-sounding solo album from a Twice member. I’m also curious if she has more songs to release a second project that dives deeper into that Indie/experimental sound for the singer. I’m glad Chae went solo, and I’ll see if I continue to listen to the album or not. ┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛ https://preview.redd.it/sebf9gnk2sof1.jpg?width=273&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3b7e0d844c181aa1c69f6cd53dc4d32d8c766bc5 submitted by /u/Maltifandom23 [link] [comments]
